Geocaching, another term I had not heard of before, a treasure hunt using a GPS device to find hidden caches.
I can’t say I was too impressed personally with geocaching. I did look up sights nearby but can think of other things to do than go looking for caches but I guess there are people who do or would enjoy finding them.
I’m not sure about using it to promote the library as I noticed with Notre Dame (US) 225 students signed up, 40 found at least some and only 26 found all - and that was with prize incentives. Maybe it could be used when a new library is opened.
Yes Im not sure how effective it would be in library promotions. As it has been around for some time and not many people have heard of it, I would say it is unlikey to catch on anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of it either before this web training! but i think it can be beneficial!
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of using it upon the opening of a new Library. Maybe we could give it a go when the new Success Library opens in 2013?
